Ukraine counter offensive

[Notch7]

You think modern day warfare's all about tanks, planes and ships these days then, fine.

Not always, sometimes it’s about propaganda….like convincing idiots to vote to harm their country, just like you did.

oh gosh, it was influenced by Putin

Another being an ar*e. Vinty didn't think he'd have to go to great lengths when he said what he said, he took it as read what he meant about Britain's contribution since natos inception.

Think the jabs effects are beginning to surface.

Gant voted for brexit

Britain is the strongest military power in Europe.

Vinty posts jingoistic nonsense again, and pretends to be offended when it is pointed out.

JohnD should tune in to watch 'Warship:Tour of duty', on Sunday night. Britain's brand new aircraft carrier looks in fine fettle to me.
Not as humungous as the USS Gerald Ford, to be sure, but still a useful piece of kit in NATOs maritime forces to make sure the Chinese don't get any ideas about the South China Sea.
The Russian fleet is nothing more than a coastguard by comparison.

Did the programme show it being towed back from the Isle of Wight?

Or the leaks?

You do know laughing at your own jokes is not a good look, thought the jab might be dulling your senses that's all.

 

[Odds]

Of course not.
But you must know sea trials are used to explore what the ship is capable of at sea, rather than what it can do on paper.
Faults are found and dealt with to ensure the fighting capability is up to scratch should the time come.

JD wants to be ruled by Brussels he's the enemy within that Thatcher talked about.

 

[JohnD]

Fine fettle.

[Odds]

All those links show are the kind of faults associated with a new construction that can be easily fixed.
Do you not understand the concept of sea-trials.?

Britain is the strongest military power in Europe.
Without America and Britain, NATO is a joke.

Without NATO (mostly usa) we are virtually nothing.

We have bigger attendances at some football matches than we have in our army.

Not knocking our military, for its size it's good. But open your eyes, don't kid yourself

Smallest army strength since Napoleonic wars I believe

France is of very similar strength

the UK was never "ruled by Brussels"

do you have any capacity for critical thinking?

 

[gant]

Being another enemy within you would say that wouldn't you.
